Sins of Empire | Brian McClellan
17 posts | 15 read | 25 to read
Prepare for a brand new adventure in the world of Brian McClellan's award-winning Powder Mage series A world on the cusp of a new age . . . The young nation of Fatrasta is a turbulent place - a frontier destination for criminals, fortune-hunters, brave settlers, and sorcerers seeking relics of the past. Only the iron will of the lady chancellor and her secret police holds the capital city of Landfall together against the unrest of an oppressed population and the machinations of powerful empires. Sedition is a dangerous word . . . The insurrection that threatens Landfall must be purged with guile and force, a task which falls on the shoulders of a spy named Michel Bravis, convicted war hero Mad Ben Styke, and Lady Vlora Flint, a mercenary general with a past as turbulent as Landfall's present. The past haunts us all . . . As loyalties are tested, revealed, and destroyed, a grim spectre as old as time has been unearthed in this wild land, and the people of Landfall will soon discover that rebellion is the least of their worries.

Loved how this fantasy novel worked the urban look. It's such a versatile genre.

I just posted a decent sized list of fantasy and scifi ebook deals in the #BBBBC group on Goodreads! Includes books by Naomi Novik, Mark Lawrence, Adrian Tchaikovsky, and Katherine Arden.

Was so looking forward to this book, but after 45% in with approximately 4 hours of reading left to go, my hope was gone. Too much repetitive political speculation without the plot moving forward. On to the next!

Laughterhp I‘ve been slowly reading through this. It‘s been a while since I‘ve picked up the book... 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @Laughterhp That‘s what happened to me too . . . 😬 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai Ohhh no! I am really looking forward to reading this one. Did you read the trilogy before this One? 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @GrilledCheeseSamurai I didn‘t read the other books first, so that may be part of the problem. It wasn‘t bad - I just gradually lost interest and other shiny, new books were calling to me. 7y
HotMessJess One day I will give myself permission to fully abandon books! I‘m still working on it! 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @HotMessJess I just figured this was keeping me from the other books I was meant to be with! 7y

#ToughTuesday. My tough day consists on deciding when to bail on a book (Deathless) and deciding when to buy a book so you can take your time reading it, because it is over 600 pages long and you have 9 other library books to read (Sins of Empire). And you are getting stressed out! I took the plunge and bought it on ThriftBooks. #AwesomeAutumnBooks

Getting some reading done this morning, while watching Harry Potter, it's HP weekend (of course). Before I have to go help my brother move. #LitsyPartyofOne

Ice cream and a book. #summer #icecream

Melissa_J I've got that one on the go at the moment, too. It's really good. Have you read the Powder Mage trilogy? 7y
speljamr @Melissa_J I have read all of the previous trilogy and the short stories. It is one of my favorite fantasy world's. 7y
Melissa_J @speljamr it's one of mine, too. I loved the world and characters. Glad to see some back for this series. Have you read Michael J. Sullivan's Riyria books? They are fantastic. 7y
speljamr @Melissa_J I have not read those, but I will take your recommendation and check them out. 7y

I really loved this book. It is the start of a new series in the Powder Mage universe and it is even better than the original series. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
